Networking

Streamlined networking solution for better performance

The OSI seven-layer Networking Architecture is still the basic building blocks for any network infrastructure. These are Physical layer, Data Link layer, IP layer, Transport (TCP/UDP) layer, Session layer, Presentation layer and Application layer. Kong Telecom implements, installs, and configures all or some of these layers depending on the business needs.

We build the physical layer using CAT-5e, CAT-6 and Fiber, and then for higher layers, we use network elements, such as Switches, Routers, phone systems, PRI, Wi-Fi Access Points (AP), Distributed Antenna System (DAS) etc. We also help businesses build and/or use software and systems to establish the Presentation & Application layers according to the specific business needs.

Finally, we perform a detail toning and testing of the end-to-end connectivity. For data connections, a speed test is run to show the efficiency of the network. On customer request, we can further communicate with the internet provider, if there is any jitter or speed issue after the work is done.

Switches and Routers we provide could be either Managed or Unmanaged.

Managed Switches are the one having in-built intelligence for better capacity, security, flexibility and control over the network, geared towards specific business needs. Managed Switches needs proper configuration and management. These can also be remotely controlled and managed.

Unmanaged Switches, on the other hand, are generally used in residential units, and small offices. These are kind of out-of-the box, pre-configured units, and very easy to add into the network.

While Switches & Routers are used to route traffic as designed as per the business need, the Access Points Antennas are used to wirelessly connect the devices to the network backbone through local network infrastructure. A single Access point can serve a small office, typically within 1000 square feet. There are different APs available in the market with different specifications and capacity. The newer ones are in-built with antennas for both 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz frequencies, and can be equipped with the new “802.11ac” compatibility, which gives more robust and secured connectivity.

For larger office spaces where the business needs multiple APs, Kong Telecom can analyze the space using sophisticated analyzer, and suggest optimized placement of the APs. We also can design a DAS network with a single SSID for all the APs in the facility.
